Visitor Engagement

For the quarter July, August, September 2026, there were 39,580 engaged sessions. A session is a period of visitor activity. Sessions that were considered "engaged" lasted longer than 10 seconds, or had at least 2 page views. But simplybible.com's average engagement time per engaged session was almost 3 minutes.

The AI says:

"For the third quarter of 2026 (July 1st to September 30th), there were 39,580 engaged sessions on simplybible.com, excluding traffic from China, Singapore, and the source trafficheap.cc. Compared to the previous quarter (Q2 2026), your property saw a 6.47% decrease in engaged sessions under these criteria. Despite this slight decline, the property maintained a consistent volume of interactive visits, averaging around 444 engaged sessions per day."

The Drop Stopped

The falling of figures on the website's statistics seems to have stopped. There were three reasons for the drop:

• Firstly I changed the source of the statistics from Awstats to Google Analytics. The two sources use different methods and Google's method gives lower numbers. It uses a piece of code placed on each page of the site. When a page is viewed, the code runs and Analytics records the data.
• Secondly, I ask Analytics AI to ensures that automated activity is mostly removed from the data, leaving real people's activity to process.
• Thirdly, popular search engines now provide an AI generated response. The list of websites does appear after that, but many users don't scroll down to find websites because the AI's response suffices.

Although visits have dropped by half, the half that remains tends to be of better quality. They include users who stay on a page for a few minutes, scroll and click. A core of these users return to the site having book marked it.

Church Meetings

We met every Lord’s Day morning for worship in our home, except for the 13th September when we were in Brisbane and met with The Point church of Christ.

Thank You

Once again, thank you for your help in the Lord’s work, and your continued interest, prayers, and support. We appreciate your fellowship with us in helping to fulfil the great commission.

Christian love and kind regards in Jesus,
